In April I was asking members of this forum who had good deals (meaning some dealer discount) on Cub Cadets in Oregon. The dealers here (2) that I went to wanted full suggested retail price, that's it. I was advised here that the dealer in Woodland, Washington would deal. Man did he. The fellow's name is Bob, the Cub is listed at $14,200 without shipping, he sold it to me for $11,450. He discounted the FEL also. I'm very please with his pricing and his friendly manner. The machine is a joy. It's really a much bigger and better machine than I need for 2.5 acres but I will use it to mow and to pick up boulders and tree branches. I consider this a lifetime purchase. Greg

Greg,
I just bought a 7205 with turf tires and the rear-mount 60" deck for my
2.1 acres. I haven't taken delivery of the tractor yet, so I wanted
to see how you like yours so far. I live in New Hampshire and had purchased
a craftsman garden tractor that couldn't handle the grass in my field if
it grew for more than 9 days, so I started looking at JDs, New Hollands
and Cub Cadets and I liked the Cub Cadet the best. Let me know what you think
of yours now that you have owned it for a couple of months.
Thanks, Gavin ....

....whoops....I actually purchased the "manual" 7200 and not the 7205....I decided I wanted the extra 1.5 HP for the PTO that the manual has over the hydro....
thanks, Gavin ....

Gavin, By this time you may well have taken delivery of your 7205. I like it quite a bit. I don't know precisely what made me so compelled to by a CC, but I like how they looked better, the axles were thicker, the weight was higher. I'm satisfied with the price I paid. It is an excellent machine, I can hardly fault it. The FEL is jerky if a high rpm is used so now I don't, also the rear lift hydrolics squeak, I don't like the sound. Unfortunately at 32 hrs. a pump broke and the dealer had to replace it. I consider that a freak occurance. that's why I wanted a new machine...warranty. I very much wanted turf tires and became convinced from the dealer that the industrial were fine for grass. I'm very happy not to have turf, these are much tougher. Also turf aren't good with a FEL. I too bought a large finish mower, although at $1600 I think I paid too much for it. The machine mows well. Have fun, Greg in Oregon ....

Thanks for the info Greg....I will call the dealer and ask him about the industrial tires vs. turf...I have nothing but lawn and won't be using a FEL, so
I will get his opinion too....take care, Gavin ....
